The Superior Labor Canvas 2-Way Backpack – Natural/Light Brown
£295.00
A canvas 2-way backpack handmade in The Superior Labor’s Okayama studio: wear it on your back or carry it as a tote by the leather handles. Kurashiki canvas, vegetable-tanned leather and solid brass hardware, all made to age beautifully.
Inside is a pocket for small items, outside a leather quick-grab pocket, and the structured base lets it stand upright while you pack. Holds a small laptop or tablet, notebooks and pouches. Stitching and painted edges are finished by hand.
Material: Kurashiki canvas, vegetable-tanned leather, solid brass
Handmade in Okayama, Japan

The Superior Labor was founded in 2007 by Makoto Kawai, a master of leatherwork and vintage clothing. The workshop at Nap Village was established in 2012, high in the Okayama mountains, where a small team cuts and sews every piece by hand.
The quality of materials and superb craftsmanship are what sets TSL apart. Paraffin-coated canvas, Tochigi and glove leather, and solid brass hardware are all chosen to wear in rather than wear out.
Our range covers the stationery side of what they make: pen cases and pen rolls, A5 and A6 notebook covers, zip organisers, canvas and leather pouches, and the Engineer and Mission Case bags, alongside brass charms and clips. New collections are released twice a year and are usually offered here as a pre-order before they land.
